With a large number of enemies on the battlefield to replace low-light night vision devices, their own infrared headlights, in the face of war, there will be great restrictions, and even the soldiers dare not turn on the infrared headlights, as long as they are on, they will become a live target of the enemy.

Moreover, the night vision device of the infrared headlights is independent, and it cannot be integrated with the fire control system, if you want to meet the night combat ability, you must engage in low-light night vision devices, and if you want to engage in this kind of thing, you can only start from scratch.

A great advantage of the image stabilization fire control system is that the night vision device can be integrated into it to become a comprehensive fire control system.

In other words, these have to be led by a machine factory for research and development.

"So, if we're going to develop it, how much will it cost?" Qin Zhenhua asked.

Professor Cao in front of her is a leader in optics in China, so for her personally, she also hopes to be able to carry out a project in the field of low-light night vision devices.

"This, we need to work with semiconductor experts to jointly develop research and development, after all, if we want to engage in it, it can't be the first generation, at least the second generation, or directly the third generation, although I haven't calculated it carefully, but, preliminary estimates, the cost of research and development will be quite high, estimated, tens of millions."

Qin Zhenhua is quite picky, in the research and development of foreign trade tank components, the research and development costs given are calculated in 10,000, but 100,000, 200,000, is already very high.

Now, if you want to build this device, you need tens of millions, and this sentence can be regarded as a scare to everyone.

Even Zhu Lao was frightened, as an expert in arms research and development, he naturally knew the shortcomings of night vision devices, but it was definitely surprising to say that so much research and development funds were needed.

Do you know how much it cost us to sell 69 foreign trade tanks, improve and sell more than 20 improvement plans?

Less than a million, the price of a tank only.

And this night vision device, the cost of improvement, needs tens of millions? In the early eighties, that was an astronomical sum.

"There are a lot of experiments to be done, and some equipment needs to be imported, so the tens of millions of R&D expenses are just my conservative estimates, and they may even be overspent several times." Professor Cao said.

Professor Cao personally wants to work on this project, but for a machine factory, what is beyond their ability to bear, will they bear it?

"It's not just our tanks that need low-light night vision devices." Qin Zhenhua spoke: "In many fields, they are needed, the navy, land and air forces, who doesn't want the ability to fight at night?" In my opinion, this project can be carried out, but we still can't do it on our own, we need to make extensive contacts, and everyone can work together and share the expenses, and we can control it. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too." Zhu Lao said on the side.

Without advanced night vision devices, the tank is blind at night, but to develop it, it will cost a lot of money, and in this way, it can only be a joint operation.

"However, it's not easy to cross the military." Professor Cao said that the projects she studied were all for the military, and she naturally knew how difficult it would be if the fortress crossed military branches.

Within a branch of the armed forces, it is very easy to mobilize, but it is different across services, and if the commander of an air force wants to mobilize a flamethrower unit of the army, it needs the signature of the highest senior leader.

"Yes, it's not easy, but, for the sake of our tank night combat ability, the army leaders of the tank side will help, and I will coordinate with Uncle Luo on this matter." Qin Zhenhua took it.

In the past few years, with the restoration of the military representative system, Luo Ronggen has continued to stay in the No. 1 Machinery Factory, paying close attention to quality management, and the tanks produced for the troops have never been questioned, but have been widely acclaimed.

The military representative system once again exerted its due vitality, because of the credit of this incident, Luo Ronggen was rewarded several times, and he refused to transfer him to a better position when he wanted to do so.

He liked a machine factory, he liked to watch the construction of tanks here, and even wanted to stay here for the rest of his life, and especially, watching the development of new tanks, Sensei was happy.

Even if he is given the position of the number one in the department, it is not as good as being in a machine factory.

Luo Ronggen also knows that all this is inseparable from Qin Zhenhua's efforts, and he absolutely supports Qin Zhenhua, especially this night vision device project to make up for the shortcomings of the army, Luo Ronggen will not shirk.

Qin Zhenhua is still confident in this.

At this time, when they were discussing, in the main factory, the factory meeting was also held in a lively atmosphere, this meeting, not about production, the unknown deputy director of the welfare, Xie Xiaoming, was singing the main tune.

"In the foreseeable future, the profitability of our plant will be strong." Xie Xiaoming said: "For the factory, the better the benefits to the workers, the more motivated the workers, we can feel the enthusiasm of the workers in the past few months, this military trade export contract, so that the whole factory workers are united." ”

"Yes, our factory, in the past few years, there were many crises, and many workers were also in a fluctuating mood, especially last year, when it came to the work of the next generation of workers, many old workers had emotions, but fortunately, now they finally see a bright future." Ma Panshan is also very touched.

In the past few years, the development of the factory, ups and downs, Ma Panshan recalled it, but also felt very emotional, the country's economic transformation, the sharp decline in military orders, and a machine factory did not take the initiative to wait, to fight, to grab, and finally out of their own way.

I don't know if the heavy truck project can be won over, but the foreign trade tank project has been implemented, and the factory has finally seen a bright future.

The factory will make a lot of money, and this is earned by the factory itself, and it is the factory that has the final say on how to dispose of it!

"In addition to increasing the daily benefits for the workers, we have another idea." Xie Xiaoming looked at everyone and said: "Over the years, the workers are still living in the family homes that we built before, all of which are small courtyards, quite crowded, cold in winter, and very uncomfortable, and with the increase of workers, the new workers have no family homes to distribute, and many of them are arranged to warehouses and other places. Therefore, we wonder if we can use 10 million yuan from the income of this arms trade to build 10 family buildings to meet the housing needs of several hundred working families. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then they were happy.
